Hello,

Here is the May edition of India Travel Blog newsletter, bringing you a quick summary of posts in last two month, a desktop calendar for May-2011 and listing our upcoming photography tours. Also, India Travel Blog has now moved to a new server to accommodate the increasing traffic. The migration had a few minor problems and some downtime in the blog, which some of you may have noticed.
